About us / O nas

A-museum-ent. Why? Because museums can be, are, and should be amusing, educational and fun. For everyone. And above all, we like them. Therefore we formed a huddle and decided to write something about that.
But, who are we? We are three young ladies, whose lives are spinning around museums. Allow us to introduce ourselves:

Tina Palaić
In the last two years my endeavours to understand and improve the world I live in have found their place in the museum environment. Besides having fun and learning new stuff there I want to co-create the museums as the place of encounters of all of us. As anthropologist and educator I am interested in getting to know and understand others and in searching for solutions for better tomorrow. While working and in rare moments of free time I am interested in reaching higher peaks and new deepness again and again. Sometimes, as it is in this case, in the company with people who think the same.

Urška Purg
I’ve been floating for a while on so many interesting rivers and seas, until finally the museum river has swallowed me whole. Being as curious, as social pedagogues and ethnologists and cultural anthropologists are, my mind immediately tackled with this topic and it refuses to stop. Since I have so many questions on museology topic, it felt only right, to find two more curious souls and start doing something about it.

Ursa Valic (Ursha Valitch)
Hey, there! I am a curios cultural anthropologist and ethnologist, as well as an engaging documentary photographer. If you asked me few years ago whether I would like to work in a museum, I would absolutely said: »No, way!« But while I was cruising between my PhD research and conference presentations across Europe and USA, I’ve always reserved some time for museum visits. At last I worked in a national museum for two years on the ESF project Accessibility of cultural heritage to vulnerable groups, which was a valuable experience. I loved my job. Sincerely, I find it fascinating doing all this interesting and creative stuff, from documentation to exhibitions, but especially I enjoyed involving individuals from different social groups in museum work.
